Can Stem Cells Reduce the Opioid Epidemic?

For many years, Michael has been struggling with back pain. It was limiting his ability to work and more importantly preventing him from enjoying time with his family. Unfortunately, in spite of trying different pain relieving measures like physical therapy, spinal injections and chiropractic care, he continued to suffer from back pain. Finally he was prescribed hydrocodone- a powerful opioid. Although this opioid pain medication helped him initially, its efficacy decreased with time and the doses had to be escalated to provide relief from his back pain. Finally, even though he was on 60mg/d, there was no respite to his back pain. To give you some perspective, this opioid dose is equivalent to taking 12 regular Vicodins a day.

Because of the tightening state medical board regulations, his family doctor was no longer comfortable prescribing opioids. He was referred to a pain management clinic. That was when I met him. I told him a few facts about opioids and chronic pain.

There is no evidence that opioids help in chronic pain.
The higher the dose of opioid, the higher the risk of addiction.
The longer he is on the opioid, the higher is the risk of addiction.
Prescription opioids have the same effects on the brain as Heroin.

When I told him that I would gradually taper him down to lower opioid doses, he agreed. But he asked me, “What about my pain, doc?”. His pain was from degenerated discs and facet joint arthritis which was seen on the MRI of his lower back. Since traditional medical care had failed to provide pain relief for his back pain, and surgery was not an option, I offered him the Stem Cell transplant. He was excited that stem cells could eliminate opioids. He had the stem cell procedure done, and 6 wks later, he is almost pain free. He is finally enjoying quality time with his family. Now, he wants to be tapered off his opioids which he has been taking for 6 years.

Can Stem Cells replace opioids in every patient? Obviously not. But stem cells possibly can in many…

What Our Satisfied Customers Say:

It is infrequent that a product or service works as well as advertised. Stemcures works exactly as advertised, perhaps even more so. I did intensive research on this place before contacting them. It is surprising to see all of the 5 star reviews and not think that these aren't paid for. No one has paid me. I have not been coerced in any way, and still I'll tell you that this was the best decision of my life and it is what I consider to be a real life miracle.

Dr. Atluri provided excellent care through the entire process from the initial consultation through the procedure and follow-ups. I was facing a reality of not being able to horseback ride anymore because of the immense pain from a herniated L5/S1 disk. The bone marrow stem cell procedure from Dr. Atluri's office has allowed me to continue my passion. I'm easily riding without any pain 90% of the time, the other 10% there's a dull very minimal pain that I could easily ride through. I feel like this has given me my life back.

I met with Dr. Atluri about stem cell injection for my spinal disc. I am a very active person and I had been dealing with degenerative disc disease which made it difficult to continue to be as active as I wished. I had explored epidural injections in the past and they only helped about 20% with the pain and after about 3 months the pain returned to normal. I had heard about Stem cell injections and the amount of success people were benefiting from this treatment. Dr. Atluri was one of the few Dr's in town if not the only one that I could find that was currently practicing with Stem Cell injections into the disc.

I had my stem cell therapy and in less than a month, my pain level has diminished by 85% and my mobility is getting better everyday. I would do this therapy again in a heartbeat. My quality of life has greatly improved and I could not be happier with the service I received from Dr. Atluri and his marvelous staff.

Dr Atluri has worked with me for about three years regarding prior hip surgeries of both hips, two prior lower back surgeries, one left total knee reconstruction, and one left shoulder reconstruction. When Dr Atluri got more involved with my back due to the prior surgeries he suggested that I have the stem cell procedure done which it has been a blessing. After 9 weeks I have gone from a wheelchair to walking on my own, he is the best!
